I really regretted
selling my first restored ECO air meter last summer so I decided
to buy another and restore it even better than the
first one. I found this one on eBay and the seller's
description read that it "Just needs a little
bright work and powder coat", well he failed to
mention that it was a five star hotel for a few
million mice. This unit had so much mouse house crap
stuffed in every corner of the inside not to mention
it smelled like a urine filled diaper. After I
dismantled it I cleaned all the parts one by one.
The sheet metal took some major sandblasting to get
all the mouse work removed but once it was cleaned
up, primed and painted it looked great. I replaced
the diaphragm, the strainer gasket, and wired in a
lamp socket with an LED bulb. All the hardware was
either cleaned or replaced and the glass, bezel
frame, hose hook, hose, air chuck, and top and
bottom scuff plates were replaced with brand new
ones. It works and looks great and I don't plan on
selling this one anytime soon!
